When the evening fades awaynI feel a breath from overseasnOn a flickering old TVnCartoons and funerals sing to menEvery day for an hour or sonI see these faces quizzednTaking care to explain to menWhere they'll be when the atoms kissnnWhy when there's a weight of faithnShould it all be wastednWhy when there's a weight of faithnShould it all be thrown awaynnOh here we gonBig bluesnHere we go againnBig bluesnnWhen I see who should know bestnI know I should trust knowledge lessnEven now with nothing to losenI feel I'm risking everythingnnWhy when there's a weight of faithnShould it all be wastednWhy when there's a weight of faithnShould it all be thrown awaynnOh here we gonBig bluesnHere we go againnBig bluesnnHow did the big blues get so bignHow did they last so long so wrongnThere ain't time to ask it twicenGet it out of my garden and get it out of my life...nnMy mind my body my soulnMy trinity has resolvednIt'll work if we make it worknIt's as physical as oil and goldnnWhy when there's a weight of faithnShould it all be wastednWhy when there's a weight of faithnShould it all be thrown awaynnOh here we gonBig bluesnHere we go againnBig blues
